The heritage of the German occupation of the Channel Islands during World War II (WWII) comprises both relics (such as bunkers, the sites of forced worker camps and artefacts) and post-occupation re-engagement with those relics (including memorialization, collection of artefacts in museums and commemorative ceremonies). In this article I examine the role of these relics using the metaphor of the scar. I also investigate the role that re-engagement with these relics by the next generation has played in healing islanders of the trauma of occupation. Finally, I seek to demonstrate the importance today, for the identity and well-being of Channel Islanders, of a correct occupation memory and heritage.Keywords: Channel Islandsoccupationheritagebunkersmemorialsrestoration
